Ring-necked Couple by sunnygreenwood

Ring-necked Couple

A pair of ring-necked ducks, harder to capture as a couple because they dive for their food and just when you think you have them lined up for a shot, one or both of them disappear!

Here's some info from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: "This bird’s common name (and its scientific name "collaris," too) refer to the Ring-necked Duck's hard-to-see chestnut collar on its black neck. It’s not a good field mark to use for identifying the bird, but it jumped out to the nineteenth century biologists that described the species using dead specimens."
They are so adorable! Great shot, Anne. Thanks for your prayers, too.

The ducks are beautiful, and so is the pattern of the water.
